If too many objects are visible in a view, select the objects you want to view and use the View menu > Show Selected Objects Only command to immediately refresh the view so that only the selected items are visible in the active window. If you change the view type in the window, say from a plan view to a 3D view, the originally selected items continue to be the only ones displayed. This command works with any type of display, including deformed shapes, beam forces, slab design info, and undeformed shapes.
Note: Right clicking anywhere in an active window will display a pop-up menu of commands, including the Show Selected Objects Only command. Clicking that command is the same as using the View menu > Show Selected Objects Only command.
